I don’t have many options as most of the shops ive reached out too just don’t respond and the ones I’ve spoken with won’t touch DSMlink.The shop I just picked my car up from will, but after dealing with them and having to go back over some of their work. I just don’t trust them to do anything...

I may be reaching out to you soon to hire you for tuning. Is it okay to send you a PM when I know for sure that ill be in need of your services?

I think there is a shop out in Aurora that messes with 4g63s. FSI Motorsports. Was considering dropping by there to check their vibe soon.485 Designs isn’t afraid to mess with them, but they are more of a fabrication shop. I plan on having them do my exhaust and air to water set up in the future.

To each their own. There are far worse things to spend $20 bucks on.

I went by the show at the stadium. Didn’t see a single T/E/L. A few 3kGTs and GTOs, handful of EVOs and alot of everything else. Was really cool and if there is a show or two more before winter strikes and I have my car, I’ll put it her in the show.Next year when good weather rolls around...

I learned today. I also didn’t state it as fact, there was a ? In there..All wheel drive is synonymous with Rallying so I tend to forget that FWD and RWD also compete. Branding is also just branding.When I was car shopping earlier this year, I had seen a later model Laser RS for sale near me...

I thought the Laser RS was AWD?! RS for Rallye Sport…What year civic? I had a 88 hatchback that was the biggest turd but wish I still owned.

I’ll be going down the rabbit hole of choosing internals in the near future. That bit from Twicks gives me some confidence on the AL route.@twicks69 with the rods being lighter, is there a noticeable difference in revs over the traditional forged rod? Does said motor feel like it revs more...

Welcome! I had a few Hondas that I sorely miss. Never quite got the Subaru bug, but I started off in the Miata scene way back before they became overpriced. The awd 4g63 platform is where it’s at and this site is a honey hole of knowledge.

Is the Sunday meet cars and coffee or is that on Saturday and hosted by someone else?I planning on going to the show at mile high but most likely won’t have my car so I’ll be on my Ninja 650.

There is a car show Sunday at the stadium? I may go even if my car is in the shop.Just dropped my ride off there yesterday morning, we shall see how long it takes to get mine back for minor stuff. Lol

Sorry for the lengthy and boring updates. I know maintenance isn’t all that interesting. I’m just very adamant about doing these things before I move on to my power goals. If you take the time out to read these updates…thank you.

So this morning I woke up and had a wild hair up my ass to try and attempt replacing the front cv axles on #231. They are both leaking grease but had no noticeable tears. I decided I would call Orillys, however I couldn’t get them to answer so I just went up there. I wasn’t expecting to have...

Seen that 8% ethanol content on IG Jairo. :hellyeah: You’re getting close. Think you’ll see some road time by spring?

Today I finally captured my first data logs. I’m not the savviest with tech so it’s going to be a slow learning process for me as far as tuning. I set the small goal of learning how to connecting to the ecu, capturing some data logs and burn and monitor coolant temps in traffic. I've yet to...

Hell yeah, what’s up fellow Denver dweller? I gotta be careful in Microcenter, the more I spend there the less I can spend on my car.

Is yours vent to atmosphere or recirculated?4000 miles with it was more than enough for me. In person it almost sounds like belt chirp.Thank you for the laptop suggestion, I need to make time for a trip down to Microcenter and see their ASUS selection in that price range.

Here’s a quick 2 minute side by side of both BOVs from inside the car.

8/13/21 - Oil change day with a side treat.Nothing exciting about an oil change. Just here to note that I’m not sure if 231 likes Royal Purple HP 10w-40. Only ran for 2k miles but valve train noise was bothersome. About 1 quart was consumed over that 2k run.I decided that I wanted to go back...

I think a 180* thermostat and some spal fans are in order.I’ve added checking the B+ terminal to my list. Thank you for that. 169300 on the clock right now but carfax stated 210,000k at some point in it history so who knows.

Thank you for the CEL notes. I’ll check that first when I’m able to connect to link.I believe that the car does have a factory alarm system, I’ll do some comparisons to confirm it’s factory and not aftermarket. Haven’t had any issues with it locking itself, yet. I have triggered it a couple...

This video is my first attempt at filming and editing video. By no means is it any good. Just ten and a half minutes of me doing uninteresting shit to my car. If you happen to watch this video, I appreciate you.

Between July first and the eighth I was able to get some work done on 231. The brass shifter bushing kit from @Gsx-Dude showed up in the mail. I was very impressed with the quality and fit. The window switches I purchased from Pot over on GVR4.org showed up as well.Window switches were quick...

8/11/2021After about 4000 miles into ownership, I’m making note of some symptoms that 231 is exhibiting.Symptom 1 - Intermittent CEL. It seems like she hates hot weather, mid to high 90s lately. Everything will be fine for a while but once things are heat soaked the CEL likes to pop on and...

I think rates may be different for Thursday’s. I know it’s free to spectate on Thursday’s for the open test and tunes. I’ll go double check their site.edit: yeah if you prepay a couple days before it’s like 120 for a open lapping/test and tune day. I’m not surprised it’s that much for an...

Agreed, FB is poison. IG is getting there. Zuck can suck it.Clip of Roger Waters from Pink Floyd giving him the “FU”

Makes me feel much better about my meager 20 lbs on 91 with a factory block. I need to look into e85 to see how available it is in my area.

Curious to know how that 35 psi and e85 went on a tired rusty block?

I’m sure I’ll be running into some of y’all at some point or another. I’m interested in going to High Plains to do some spectating. Sounds like a good way to spend the 4th.

Old and busted trim vs clean channels with no trim.

Couple of photos of the assembly after replacing the bushing and a generous application of grease in the places that could use it. Base over haul will happen when everything comes back out for the brass kit install.

6/12/21Sloppy shifter had to go, late night maintenance ensued. Already had the plastic bushings and solid base bushings on hand, so why not. My original intentions were going to be to wait for the brass bushing kit from @Gsx-Dude to show up. After some consideration and knowing that shipping...

Hello Denver folks,Moved here from south Atlanta 5ish years back. Picked up a GVR4 recently. It’s nice to know there is some Mitsu activity out here. I used to own a GVR4 around 2012-2013 but never got to drive it. Does anyone frequent high plains raceway?

Best I could come up with! Lol
